Although unfortunately it seems that lately
saving is more common than spending, inversion
tables from which I will discuss in this post have nothing to
do with the stock market, or the millions. Don’t mix it with
‘immersion’ neither, which is what many mistakenly ask for when
they go to buy their fitness
machinery. Immersion requires an aquatic environment to dive
in, which is not the case for the inversion.

Inversion tables are a type of fitness equipment that allows you
to stay in the reverse position, upside down, in
a very simple way.

To achieve this position the machine has an anchoring system that
holds the ankles, and they always are
adjustable. You can also adjust the table on which rest of the
body will rest. It is usually recommended to start with
inclinations not too pronounced, the angle may
increase as you progress through the training.

However, while certain brands allow staying literally hanging by
the ankles, this is not a position recommended as there are more
disadvantages than benefits. The same applies to the duration of
training in this position. The closer we are placed perpendicular
to the ground, the less time we have to stay in the table. Both
our body and the machine are simply not designed for it.

Completing our fitness routine training
with a session in the inversion table is preventing
certain types of back problems. It also helps to improve
flexibility and circulation. It relaxes the muscles and combats
stress, among many other benefits.

The advice is to be taught by a specialist during the sessions,
in order to minimize the adverse effects that its use could
create if not used responsibly. Remember that you should not
practice it alone ; always have someone close by
if needed.

to worry about anything:
